Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I calculate my police pension?
Your pension is calculated based on your accumulated contributions and the interest earned over your years of service. At retirement (age 60), you are eligible to take 1/3 of this total amount as a cash lump sum. The remaining 2/3 is converted into a monthly pension to support you for life.
What is the "Commuted Pension Gratuity"?
This is the "Lump Sum" you receive immediately upon retirement. In Kenya, this amount is generally tax-free up to certain limits, providing officers with the capital needed to build a home or start a business.
Can I access my pension if I resign early?
If you resign before age 50, you can access your own 7.5% contributions plus the interest earned. However, the 15% government portion remains locked until you reach retirement age (50 for early retirement or 60 for mandatory retirement).
What happens if an officer dies in the line of duty?
The PSSS ensures that the family or designated next-of-kin receives the full accrued fund (both officer and government portions). This is in addition to any "Work Injury Benefits Act" (WIBA) or Group Life Insurance payments specifically for the NPS.
